What happens when a grief therapist loses those closest to her?

from Life, Death & The Space Between with Dr. Amy Robbins

In this raw and deeply personal episode, I sit down with Meghan Riordan Jarvis—a seasoned grief therapist who faced her greatest challenge when grief shattered her own life. After losing both parents, Meghan’s journey through PTSD, spiritual disconnection, and eventual healing reveals profound truths about trauma, intuition, and the unseen threads that bind us to those we’ve lost. Together, we explore how grief rewires the brain, why childhood wounds resurface in loss, and the mysterious signs that whisper, “You’re not alone.” If you’ve ever felt crushed by loss or questioned how to find light in the darkness, this conversation is a lifeline.00:00 Intro01:09 Meet Meghan Riordan Jarvis: A Journey Through Grief03:24 The Role of Trauma in Grief Therapy06:57 Personal Stories of Loss and Healing09:24 Understanding Grief and Energy17:27 The Impact of Childhood and Social Connections on Grief24:57 Spirituality and Religion in the Healing Process29:43 Recognizing Spiritual Connections30:21 A Mother's Influence and Spirituality31:15 Exploring Spiritual Beliefs32:27 Signs and Symbols from Beyond40:00 The Grief Mentor Method49:36 Personalized Grief Practices51:24 Conclusion and ResourcesLEARN MORE ABOUT MEGHAN:IG: @meghan.riordan.jarvis  @griefismysidehustle FB: Meghan JarvisFB: Grief is My Side HustleWebsite: https://meghanriordanjarvis.com/ https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Meghan+Riordan+Jarvis-In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.
